Quad encoder problems

Smitty,

Out of curiosity, why not use MicroCode Studio?

Hi Smitty,

As Steve B also asks about it here, is there a particular reason why you are not using MicroCode Studio?

Also, for the encoder , don't you think that you can do what you need with one direction?

If you think you can, then I can give you some piece of code for TMR1 and TMR0 so that you can set it up for reading the encoder, and suggest some ways of having the missing counts minimized.

In your case, as much as I understood it, the degrees needed are wide enough to cover the missing counts.
